To my dear friend and best friend of my late husband, Jim Heiner. Ken and Jim produced many musicals together at Las Positas College and complimented each other with their wonderful encouragement and instruction! I thank you Ken for the wonderful memories and for the encouragement you gave me!!! Returning to college after 40 you gave me the courage to try so many new things! You (and Jim) gave so much to so many! God bless you and your family. I will miss you terribly but feel so...

Ken was a dear friend of my sister Jean, with whom he collaborated on the musical "P.K" while both were attending Elmhurst College. RIP, Ken.

Ken was a member and leader in St. James United Church of Christ in North St. Louis when I was a child. He wrote, produced and directed a musical at Elmhurst College entitled "P.K." which starred David Rasche who still acts in films and on TV. I remember Ken's effervescence and positive attitude. When I think of Ken I see a man with a smile on his face.
